A. Site Survey: During a site survey a certified Loea surveyor can assess the environment of the installation, ensure that the physical conditions of the site are appropriate, indicate where building connections need to be available and ensure that Line of Sight (LOS) exists between the two end points. B. FCC Part 101 License: Loea’s band of operation is licensed by the FCC for nonfederal government users and by the NTIA for federal government and DOD users. Prior to deployment, a license is required. For more information on obtaining a license for operation of this radio in the 70 and 80 GHz bands see http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/millimeterwave/ and select the “nationwide license” link. There is an application form and information pertaining to current license fees at this site. Please contact Loea directly with any questions. C. Installation of Mast and Demarcation: A standard 2.5 in to 4in mast (4.5in O.D. Max) must be installed at a position and specific height as specified in the Site Survey. To facilitate connection to the building’s network; fiber for communications, and Ethernet for monitoring are required in a demarcation box per the specifications in this manual and specifically as defined in the Site Survey. D. Bench Test: Loea recommends that the transceivers be tested after delivery to the site and prior to installation on the mast to ensure that no damage occurred during shipping and to familiarize the customer with radio operation. To perform a bench test: a) Separate the transceivers by approximately 5 feet on a wooden or non-metallic surface. Align the radios so that the radios are in the same RF orientation (to do this situate the radio housing so that the bore scope on each radio is on top) and pointed directly at each other with absorber material on each lens. When user can verify a valid RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indicator) value a link has been established. Then when BER performance is verified the link is functional. See reference Sections 2.7, 2.8 and 2.9. b) If possible, a complete end-to-end test is recommended with switching and/or encryption devices. The L1000 is generally a plug and play device, it is recommended to do this to avoid de-bugging in the field. E. System Commissioning: Upon install completion, metrics from the install site must be recorded and verified to ensure that the transceivers are performing as expected. The “Loea Field Service Data” form (see Appendix A) should be forwarded to Loea following the installation. This will assist Loea’s technical service and help desk personnel assess problems should a link fail to operate. It is also recommended that the end user/owner keep a copy for their records.

Make sure that the nut closest to the mount plate is ¾” in from the end. Install the 4 rods into the mount plate until the nut touches the plate. Do not continue turning the rod as the nut will not stop the rod from continuing into the plate. Use the ¾” wrench to tighten the nut nearest the plate. Lastly, install the Azimuth Control knob in the center hole of the semi-circular pattern of threaded holes on the same side of the mount where the elevation control handle resides (as shown in the photo below). Backing Nut ¾” from end of rod Azimuth Control Knob Figure 4.

Be sure to install washers (8) between the bracket and the nut as shown in the photo below. The photo below depicts the washer placement for the top half of the mount. Repeat washer placement for the bottom half of the mount. The mount is ready to be attached to the mast. 4 Washers Figure 5. Assembly of Mount with Mast Clamp Brackets. 12 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 2.5 11/26/07 Attach Assembly to Mast (see Figure 6) Remove the back brackets from the mount and then place mount on mast. Be sure that the Slot holes for the radio our oriented downward. If the mount must go on the other side of the mast, please refer to the Reverse Orientation section. Place the top bracket on the threaded rod and then insert the washers and nuts. After securing the mount to the mast but prior to tightening the brackets in place, perform a “gross” alignment by looking at the target and lining up the straight edge on the mount so that the mount will be “pointing” towards the target (see photo below). Elevation Control Slots Down Azimuth Control Figure 6. Attaching Assembly to Mast. Target Aim towards target Figure 7. Use straight edge as a guide for Gross Alignment. Once the steering assembly is grossly aligned, tighten the Mount Bracket nuts with a ¾” wrench. The radio can now be attached to the mount. 13 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 2.6 11/26/07 Attach Transceiver to Steering System (see Figure 8) Once the steering assembly is secured to the mast per 2.5 above, the radio can be attached to the mount. First, the radio should be tilted so that the screws on the bottom rail go through the bottom slotted holes. Then tilt the radio upward to insert the top screws into the slotted holes. Figure 8. Attaching Transceiver to Steering System. Make sure the screws have seated in the slots securely before releasing the radio. Using the 3/16” T-handle wrench, tighten the screws. The radio is now ready for alignment. Figure 9. Tighten radio mount screws with 3/16” Allen wrench. 14 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 2.7 11/26/07 Cabling to the Radio (see Figure 10) Before proceeding to the alignment of the link, the installer must complete the fiber, DC power (if using AC power, DC power will come from the optional Demarc box) and Ethernet connections to the radio. Typically this will be carried out by connecting the cables to the housing and completing the connection inside the service compartment. It is recommended that the power cable is Belden 9342 which is shielded. Add a terminal connector to the drain wire (3M’s P/N MVU14-8R or similar #8 stud) and a 6-32 screw and lock washer. The Red wire should be connected to the positive terminal of the 48VDC supply and the Black wire will be connected to the Negative terminal on the 48VDC supply. The duplex LC terminated fiber cable and Ethernet cable (for radio health monitoring) should be plumbed through crimp glands and inserted into the appropriate ports. Note: Do not over tighten the crimp glands. Fiber Port ON/Off Switch Ground Cable Shield Ethernet Port -48VDC Belden 9342 Crimp Glands Figure 10. Inside Radio Service Compartment 15 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Begin by first passing the shielded DC power cord (Belden 9342) thru the cable crimp gland. Once the power cord has been pulled thru, attach the + side of the 48V DC to the terminal closest to the door hinge (Fig.10). Connect the drain wire to a solderless crimp connector and attach to housing with a 6-32 screw (supplied). Fiber Signal interface: A duplex male LC terminated fiber optic connection is the standard interface inside the L1000 radio. For applications using the Gigabit Ethernet standard, it is recommended the customer use Single Mode 1310nm. Multimode 850nm fiber is available as an option but is not recommended due to the limited temperature and distance performance of Multimode fiber and related components. For the Sonet standards, it is required that the customer use Single-mode 1310nm fiber. A graphic showing the required LC fiber connector to be used is shown in Fig. 11. Figure 11: Typical LC Duplex Male Connector The fiber connector will mate with the SFP located in the service panel as shown in Fig.8. A typical pluggable SFP is shown in Fig. 12. Do not attempt to remove the SFP unless instructed to do so by a Loea engineer.

The demarcation box should be located no further than 15’ away from the base of the radio installation or as specified in the site survey report. After all connections have been made the power switch located in the service compartment should be turned ON. The ‘red’ LED located on the outside of the radio will turn on indicating the unit has power. The user should wait a minimum of 10 minutes before making RSSI measurements to allow the unit to warm up. 18 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 2.8 11/26/07 Bench Testing Radios Often, it is helpful to bench test the link in a lab environment to ensure that the installer team is familiar with the proper operation of the link before field commissioning. The radios should be placed 5ft apart at the same height. A large bench could be used. The absorber disks should be placed in front of each lens prior to powering the radios. Setup without Absorber Absorber Disk Figure 13. Bench Test Setup The radios may need to be moved for proper alignment in order to each error free performance. Check the RSSI level via the BNC connector to ensure that the radios are in a valid operating range. Find the DMM DC voltage reading on the RSSI lookup table. Adjustments to the alignment may be necessary to obtain a valid RSSI reading (should be 40 to 50dB). RSSI lookup Table 2.504 BNC connection to DMM &RSSI Figure 14.

The BER tester should register zero errors. Note: If the test environment has metal walls or desk very close to the product, results may not be perfect. This is a rudimentary test to prove functionality NOT performance. Valid performance tests are to be conducted after installation. Figure 15. BER Test Connections 20 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 2.9 11/26/07 Interfacing to RSSI Port (see Figure 16) The RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) voltage is a measure of received signal strength which will be used to assess alignment. To measure the RSSI voltage, locate the BNC connector external to and below the service compartment (see Figure 14). Connect a Fluke DMM Series 77 or similar to the BNC connector and note the RSSI mV reading (a dual banana to BNC connector can be used).

The Loea steering assembly has an elevation control lever and azimuth control knob along with a scope mounted on the top of the radio for fine alignment. General coarse alignment is achieved when attaching the mount to the mast and using the straight edge of the mount to align with the target. Adjusting the azimuth to the right is achieved by turning the azimuth control knob in a clock wise direction (for a left side orientation) and counter clockwise to move the cross hairs left. Adjust azimuth until the cross hairs are on the lens/target and then tighten the locking bolts with the 5/16” Allen wrench. Figure 18. Alignment Technique. 23 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Side-lobes Peak gain _________________________________________________ Figure 19. Antenna Pattern with Side Lobes. Once coarse visual alignment is complete, use a Fluke Digital Multi-Meter (DMM) Series 77 or similar and connect it to the RSSI port. Begin the peaking of the link by using the following method: Using the steering assembly to adjust the Azimuth and Elevation, the scope on the antenna to track position visually and the RSSI reading to fine tune, sweep the dish slowly over a predetermined pattern. For example, begin with a coarse optical alignment slightly off to one side and elevated. Sweep across the location where the RF path should be to the opposite side of the expected RF beam and then come down slightly in Elevation, sweep back to the original side and repeat. Look for a peak in the RSSI value and continue until RSSI is peaked on one end. Apply the above peaking method in the following manner to the link: • • • • Peak radio at end A of link Repeat at end B of link Repeat again at end A of link Repeat at end B of link if necessary. Once the installer is satisfied that the link has reach a peak level, each radio, one at a time, should be adjusted one last time off the main beam roughly 1 full rotation clockwise and antclockwise of the fine adjustment bars in the vertical and horizontal direction. If no greater peak is found then it is likely that the alignment is optimal. Ensure the adjustment bars are locked in place. Proceed to section 2.10. 24 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 2.11 Verification of Bit Error Rate (BER) Verification of Bit Error Rate (BER) is achieved by using a fiber optic line tester to validate the L1000. Typical fiber line testers can verify the protocol (Gigabit Ethernet or OC-12 SONET), bandwidth, and optical signal quality in addition to BER ensuring a properly working link. Using a BER tester, the installer must verify that the TX optical power level from the network and radio at each end of the link are within the GBIC specifications given in Table 2a and 2b. If the measured values are found to exceed these levels the installer must call Loea or insert appropriate optical attenuators to bring the optical levels back into specification prior to making the final fiber optic connection. The installer must record these measurements in the fiber information section of the “Loea Field Service Data” report given in Appendix A. Loea installers use the Sunrise Model # Sunset MTT-C Chassis with module MTT-29B for Gigabit Ethernet link testing. This includes 1310 patch cords and an optics container. For OC-12 links the Sunrise Model # SSOCx is recommended which provides DSO Drop and Insert, FT1 and a Data Storage Card. 2.12 Final System Commissioning Run the BER test for 30 minutes. If the BER is approximately 10-10 and a RSSI reading within and +/-5dB of the expected value in the Site Survey, the system is now ready to be integrated into your network. After integration into the network the BER for the system should be greater than 10-6. If this is not the case contact a Loea engineer. Ensure that the back cover of the L1000 is fastened down and that the lock nuts on the Azimuth and Elevation adjusters have been tightened. Finally, make sure the all cables have been secured to the L1000 and that the demarcation box has been properly sealed. Prior to leaving the site, please complete a copy of the “Field Service Data Report” found in Appendix “A”, save a copy for yourself and send a copy to Loea. 25 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 3. 3.1 Systems Integration Standard System Demarcation Box Requirements The Loea L1000 Transceivers will be provided with standard cable connections for a demarcation box. The demarcation box is the key interface between customer premise equipment and the radio. In the cases of system repair and diagnostics, should a Loea system problem be reported, it can be isolated from the user’s physical plant at this demarcation point to help isolate the problem. The demarcation box will be installed prior to Loea system installation per the requirements stated in the site survey and must provide the following connections: • • • • 3.2 -48VDC Power is required via 16 – 18 AWG (Belden 9342) Fiber-optic connection (Communication Signal) RJ45- CAT5 10/100baseT Ethernet (SNMP interface). Enclosure is supplied with the system. Basic Information on Loea Interface The Loea transceiver operates at the Physical Layer (Layer 1) of the OSI network stack. Loea’s system will appear to be a fiber cable. The transceiver has three connections as follows: 1.) Signal interface: At the radio, an LC fiber optic connector is the standard interface. Single Mode 1310nm is recommended for most applications. The L1000 has a Multimode 850nm option which may be used in some cases; please consult Loea for more information. 2.) Power interface: The Loea transceiver’s standard configuration requires a -48VDC (nom) connection. 3.) An optional 110 Volt AC power supply is also available. 4.) The Ethernet connection is for Link monitoring. Because the transceiver can be viewed as a network element, there is a standard RJ-45 connection for SNMP.v3 access. The Loea system is OSI Layer 1 (physical layer) and it will interoperate with most commercial off the shelf (COTS) switches, routers and encryption devices. For further information on tested devices please contact Loea. 26 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 3.3 11/26/07 Link Monitoring The L1000 series operates SNMP v.3 (factory default) or SNMP v.1 3.3.1 Network Management System Operation The L1000 radio links are configured, operated and monitored through the SNMP interface by using a SNMP based Network Management System (NMS) and an SNMP agent in the L1000 radio. Each L1000 radio can send SNMP traps to the NMS over the RJ-45 Ethernet port located on the back of each radio. At this time Loea does not have its own element manager application. Workstation The NMS workstation manages all L1000 uniquely assigned IP addresses. See Appendix C for an example on how to install the L1000 MIB using an off-the-shelf NMS application. The workstation also provides a graphical display of the network objects showing the status, performance and configuration parameters. The SNMP interface also allows operators real-time notification of radio problems. Agent The SNMP local agent is a standard MIB-II compliant software module that resides in each L1000 radio. The agent collects information from different L1000 components internal to the radio as defined in the Management Information Base (MIB) structure. The L1000 incorporates a private MIB. See Appendix B for details of the L1000 MIB and the associated variable descriptions. 3.3.2 NMS Data Transfer The NMS data transfer between the manager (Workstation running the NMS application) and the SNMP agents (Radios) is accomplished using either polling or trapping techniques. Polling The NMS polls each L1000 SNMP agent at specific intervals. These are set according to user requirements during SNMP NMS configuration. 27 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Traps The L1000 agent sends an SNMP trap to the manager whenever a predefined event occurs. Groups of traps can be defined according to their level of severity. The operator can choose to enable or disable any traps or group of traps according to their level of severity (and his or her own security level). 3.4 RS-232 Serial Link Interface The RS-232 interface provides an access port for a craft terminal used by installation or maintenance personnel. The RS-232 port is located in the service compartment of the radio (See Figure 8). A laptop computer running HyperTerminal communicates with the radio via ASCII commands. The RS232 port offers different menu options to locally configure the radio. After connecting a laptop PC to the RS-232 port on the radio, press ‘ENTER’ on the PC keyboard and the screen in Figure 16 will appear showing the Main Menu. From this menu only two of the options will be available to the end user. They are option I and S. These two options will enable the following to be performed by the end user: a) Set or Read IP address b) Set or Read SNMP v1 ON or OFF c) Set Read community string d) Set Write community string The rest of the options in the Main Menu (A, D, M, P, R and T) are reserved for the exclusive use of those certified to perform field diagnostics.

Thus, the quality of the ground connection is as important as the surge arrestor itself, which can only operate if it has someplace to send the surge. Equally as important as the quality of the ground connection is the topology of the connection itself. Most system installations have many pieces of interconnected equipment, all of which require grounding. If each device has a different path to earth ground, voltage differentials will develop between these grounds, and currents will flow between them resulting in Electromagnetic field across Transmitting device. In the event of a high rise-time surge, the currents tend to act in a conductor more like AC than DC. The currents will oscillate inside a conductor as damped wave at a frequency in the RF region. Further, it results in harmonics and Electromagnetic Interference. There are three methods generally accepted to reduce the inductance and equalize ground voltages in a system installation: 1. Make all connections to ground as short and straight as possible, to reduce the inductance to a minimum. 2. Use large cross-section conductors to maximize the current carrying capacity in consideration of the skin effect, such as copper strap or large cross-section multiple-strand cables. 3. Use a single point grounding system to avoid circulating currents caused by multiple ground connections. This last point requires more explanation. If a piece of equipment is grounded at more than one location, utilizing different paths that eventually connect to earth ground, differences in potential may develop between the two connections for the reasons just discussed. These grounds will attempt to equalize themselves, resulting in a current passing through the equipment itself. Further, standing waves can be established in the loop formed between the two pieces of equipment, their connections and the ground itself, resulting in circulating currents which can damage the equipment or impede its proper operation. In a single point ground system, only one ground reference is established in a system, which is well bonded to an earth ground. 32 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Antenna TxRx RF Protector RF Protector Coax Demarcation POP Grounding Figure 21. Single point grounding The single point ground is an important part of reducing noise generated by RF via the grounding system or return line. Figure 22. Two Methods of Single Point Grounding 33 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 All ground connections branch out from here so that there is only one ground path for each piece of equipment. This method eliminates the possibility of ground loops and equalizes the ground voltage differentials within the system. The single point ground system is also sometimes referred to as a “star” grounding system. Larger systems can be connected using what is called a “star of stars” system. Even if a piece of equipment has been protected by a surge arrestor and is connected to a proper earth ground, the problem is only partially solved. Presuming that the equipment the arrestor is protecting is also grounded, not all the surge current will flow through the arrestor – some of the current will still pass to ground by means of the other path going through the equipment. If we want to maximize the current flow through the surge arrestor and minimize the current through the equipment, we do this by lowering the inductance of the path through the arrestor as much as possible. 3.5.2 Rack Cabinet Grounding The single point grounding technique can also be effective to protect multiple pieces of equipment installed inside an equipment rack cabinet. Treat the rack the same as you would a building, and mount a panel on the cabinet to act as both an entrance panel and reference ground for all conductors entering and leaving the rack. Install AC surge protectors at this point in shunt to ground, and install series impedance between the panel and the equipment. Don’t count on the metal cabinet itself to serve as a ground conductor – paint and oxidation may conspire to prevent a good connection. A copper strap should be run along the inside of the cabinet, bonded to the cabinet along its length, and also bonded to the access panel. The chassis of each piece of equipment is then bonded to this buss bar with a single copper braid or strap. Finally, connect the rack’s access panel to the building reference ground. 34 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 3.5.3 An Effective Earth Ground Once all connections have been made to the master ground point in the building, it must be bonded to an effective earth ground system outside the building. Figure 23. Earth Ground Four inch or larger copper strap is recommended, with short, straight connections. Corrosion will dramatically increase the resistance of a connection; so use silver soldering or cad welding for all connections exposed to the weather. 35 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 3.5.4 At the Tower The following are some of the important steps to be taken at the base of a tower to maximize protection against a lightning strike: 1. Tack weld all tower sections together running down at least at one leg, to provide corrosion free electrical continuity to ground. Figure 24. Tower Ground 2. Drive four or more ground rods at ten-foot intervals around the base of the tower, and ground these to the tower. 3. Connect all the guy wire anchors to the Ground with a short jumper cable. 4. Use 16 AWG minimum and 6 AWG maximum insulated copper conductor. Typically, 10 AWG is the nominal size used in most installations. 5. National Electric Code (NEC) Chapter 8 on "Communication Systems" covers general requirements for grounding, bonding and protection of low-voltage communications equipment. 36 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 3.5.5 Conclusion Unpredictable and intermittent data loss and outright system failure can result from a transient. To help ensure the safety and operation of sensitive telecommunications equipment, as well as the safety of personnel. The electrical contractor should install an effective grounding system that will circumvent such disturbances. To ensure effective equalization, the telecommunications ground should be directly attached to the electrical service ground. However, an electrode such as a ground rod or other grounding electrode system can be used when no electrical service is present. This article offers a brief explanation of how to install a telecommunications grounding system. To help better understand the schematics of telecommunications grounding, consult ANSI/EIA/TIA 607 that covers grounding and bonding requirements for telecommunications applications in commercial buildings. Other important standards to consider include EIA/TIA 568-A and 569-A, which, as a set, are Telecommunications Building Wiring Standards. In addition, the National Electric Code (NEC) Chapter 8 on "Communication Systems" covers general requirements for grounding, bonding and protection of low-voltage communications equipment. Chapter 2 and Article 250 discuss grounding requirements. The Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) and other national and local safety codes also should be consulted where applicable. 37 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 This page intentionally left blank 38 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Appendix A - Field Service Form Loea Field Service Data Page: 1 of 1 To be filled by the Field Service Engineer Product: Link Serial #: Date of Service: Servive Type: Customer: B Radio Charge #: A Radio Location: Lattitude: GPS Coordinates: Altitude: Location: Lattitude: GPS Coordinates: Altitude: Antenna: 4ft 2ft Other: Mast Type: Tripod Wall Mount Tower: Other: Height Off Ground: Extension Beyond Highest Point: No Yes: ____ft Antenna: 4ft 2ft Other: Mast Type: Tripod Wall Mount Tower: Other: Height Off Ground: Extension Beyond Highest Point: No Yes: ____ft Link Information GigE Link Distance (km): Standard: OC-12 Other: B Radio A Radio IP Address: Path Loss (dB): RSSI (mV) Estimated: RSSI (mV) Actual: BER Bench: BER Field: IP Address: Path Loss (dB): RSSI (mV) Estimated: RSSI (mV) Actual: BER Bench: BER Field: Fiber Information Fiber Tx Power from B Radio: …………….. dBm Fiber Tx Power from Network (B side):…………dBm Fiber Type: Termination: 850nm (MM) LC SC 1310nm (SM) Other: Fiber Tx Power from A Radio: …………….. dBm Fiber Tx Power from Network (A side): …………dBm Other: Input Power 39 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 Distance to DEMARC: Protection: Surge 11/26/07 Conditioner UPS None Conditions Temperature: Wind Direction: Atomspheric Cnditions Clear Rain Relative Humidity Wind Speed: Snow Fog 40 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Appendix B – List of SNMP MIB Groups Glossary In this Appendix the following terms are used with these specific meanings: SNMP Radio NMS MIB OID - Simple Network Monitoring Protocol.

If it is goes from inside a range to outside, or from outside the range to inside, the corresponding trap is generated. For each digital signal, a trap is generated each time that signal changes state. 42 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 Name lcTCDestination 11/26/07 OID .5.1 Type IP addr Access Read only lcTCAliveInterval .5.2 Integer Read-write lcTCFiber lcTCFiberHi lcTCFiberLo lcTCPathLoss lcTCPathLossHi lcTCPathLossLo lcTCTemp lcTCTempHi lcTCTempLo Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Integer Read-write Read-write Read-write Read-write Read-write Read-write Read-write Read-write Read-write .5.3 .5.4 .5.5 .5.6 .5.7 .5.8 .5.9 .5.10 .5.11 Description Address to which traps are sent (if 0.0.0.0, no traps are sent) Interval in seconds between sending lcTrapAlive Fiber signal strength trap enable High limit of fiber signal strength, in dBm Low limit of fiber signal strength Path loss trap enable High limit of path loss, in dB Low limit of path loss Temperature trap enable High limit of temperature, °C Low limit of temperature, °C Traps This table defines the traps that can be sent by the radio.

SNMPv1 is not secure, because its community strings (passwords) are sent in clear text. Anyone who has access to your network can discover SNMPv1 passwords, and therefore they can monitor the radio. It is recommended that SNMPv1 not be used in any situation where unauthorized individuals are able to access the network, such as over the Internet. As shipped, the Loea radios have SNMPv3 enabled and SNMPv1 disabled. SNMPv1 can be enabled by issuing the appropriate commands through the radio’s serial port. (See Section 3.4) Unlike some devices which offer multiple views of the data for different purposes, the Loea radios only have one view of all SNMP variables – anyone who has access to any SNMP functionality has access to all of it. 43 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Appendix C –Example of Installing the L1000 MIB This example is based the NMS application SNMPc. Please consult directions in your NMS manual, contact your NMS supplier or contact Loea for assistance. Begin by installing the SNMPc7 software on a workstation PC. Follow the instructions in the “Getting Started” manual that comes with the software. Once the software has been installed, integrate the L1000 MIB file with the SNMPc program by carrying out the following steps: a) First locate the other MIB files used by SNMPc on the workstation PC. They should be at: C:\Program Files\SNMPc Network Manager\mibfiles. b) Copy the current version of the Loea 1000 MIB file to the same MIB folder. c) On the SNMPc main menu, choose ‘Config’ then ‘mib database’, then click ‘Add’. Scroll down to the end of the list – the Loea 1000 MIB should be there. d) Select it and click ‘Ok’. Then click ‘Compile’ and after compilation is finished click ‘Done’. At this stage the Loea 1000 MIB should be integrated with SNMPc7. e) Now add the radios in each link to the list of monitored items. Refer to the ‘Getting Started’ manual on how to do this. A typical example of the SNMPc7 Management Console screen display for a simple network is shown in Figure C1. The green icon indicates that the radioBlab device is connected and responding to polls from the NMS while the red icon indicates that the radioAlab device has a critical failure. The display layout shows a selection tool pane on the left with tabbed control for selection of objects within different SNMPc functional modules. A network view window is in the centre. At the bottom is an event log tool pane with tabbed control for display of filtered event log entries. Refer to the SNMPc manual for additional screen layout options and use of the main button bar and edit button bar along the top and right side of the screen display. 44 Loea Corporation 733 Bishop Street, Suite 1717 Honolulu, HI 96813 Phone: (808) 521-4908 Fax: (808) 521-4906 www.loeacom.com L1000 User’s Manual DU1000-01 11/26/07 Figure C1.
